Orbing is the teleportation power used in Charmed, the American fantasy drama that first aired in 1998, by Whitelighters and witches who inherit that ability. Characters dissolve into a swirl of blue or white orbs to travel instantly between places, and the accompanying shimmer became closely tied to that visual in reruns, clips and fan edits. As short magical effects became popular for social video transitions, the sound found a second life beyond the show, used whenever a creator wants a quick, clean teleport without dialogue or music.
